Harrah's/Caesars Casino Live Online

[RobWin]

As previously stated, Caesars is UK Only right now. I spoke to 888 at EGR Live last week and had this confirmed.

Simmo, who exactly was the 888 Rep that confirmed that for you? Because I am getting conflicting info from a couple of their aff managers. You can PM me if you don't want to post that info here, but I would appreciate it.

As a player I would classify 888 in the same group as Virtual. Their fequent bonus denial, horrendous forex fees, seizing of funds in accounts dormant for six months and poor quality software makes 888 an horrendous experiencefor the player.

If you guys are advising UK players to get involved with 888 you are doing them a big disservice. Why encourage them to play here when we have good reliable casinos like Virgin/BSQ/VC/Tote/Coral/Lads/WH etc etc?

888 is just a bad experience in a whole bunch of ways.

Just as Las Vegas Sands originally planned post UIGEA. As I recollect, neither I nor Jetset knows whatever became of this plan with the exception that there is no online as such.

Another 888 "white label".

So many players have problems because they have "more than one Cassava powered account", even though when they signed up it appeared they were signing with completely independent casinos that just happened to use the same software.
There is also the tendency for 888 to LIE when they find themselves in a bit of bother. They LIED about Reef Club having any connection to the main brand, yet upon leaving the site the players were treated to a "try our sister casino, Reef Club" exit pop-up. Then there was the "Lucky Ace" farce, more lies from Cassava, this time in an attempt to justify their actions.
There are STILL complaints coming in from players deemed to have "too many accounts across the Cassava brand". Said players might try this new casino, and find themselves unknowingly yet AGAIN with Cassava.
Note the misleading press release, mentioning "Dragonfish software", when they know full well that this is NOT going to be a name familiar with players, whereas say "Cassava", or "888", and almost every player will recognise it.

As for the restricted countries. I expect Harrahs are being extra cautious, since what they are REALLY after is a legalised US market. Testing their product elsewhere will allow them to iron out any problems, enabling them to "hit the ground running" the first day the US allows online casinos to operate. They do NOT want to risk falling foul of ANY other countries' laws, even those where the laws are considered to be indistinct. The UK benefits from a law that specifically makes online gambling legal, rather than a lack of a direct law making it illegal, which is what many countries have at present.

I think it's very discouraging that a large company like Harrah's has partnered with someone so disreputable. With their brand ID it would have been smarter to develop their own software.

From what I've gathered in a news article, spent a half-hour looking for it, but cannot find it again, Casears Casino online split-off from the Harrah's group with their own ID.

This from the bottom of their online casino page...

Operated by Entertaining Play Limited and licensed by the Government of Gibraltar © 2010, CAESARS Interactive Entertainment, Inc.

I looked up Entertaining Play Limited and came up with Gamesys. I guess that's the software, right?

[DiamondGeezer]

Yes - I think they have an association with Jackpot Joy because it was JJ that gave me a 'special invitation' to Caesar's that turned out to be a bait and switch offer.

my experience with this casino has been very poor so far I would not recommend them.

Just to keep the record straight and in perspective, this thread is actually a year old

I believe that the online division of Harrah's - Harrah's Interactive Entertainment headed up by former Party Gaming chief Mitch Garber and based in Montreal - still owns the three online gambling sites opened up under the Caesar's identity targeted primarily on the UK with seperate softwares as indicated in this thread.

Last time I checked these were the operational sites:

Caesars Casino Online
Software: 888, CryptoLogic, WagerWorks
Jurisdiction: Gibraltar

Caesars Bingo Online
Software: Gamesys
Jurisdiction: Gibraltar

Caesars Card Club
Software: Everleaf Gaming
Jurisdiction: Malta

I suspect that Entertaining Play Limited is simply the operator on behalf of HIE, or perhaps the company created to hold the licensing.

Edited to add that Harrah's itself recently underwent a corporate ID change to Caesars Entertainment Corp. (see Casinomeister News reports).

Caesars Casino switched to Gamesys software earlier this year. The Cassava (888)/Cryptologic/WagerWorks games are gone.

Gamesys software also powers Caesars Bingo, Jackpotjoy, Sun Bingo, Heart Games, and Botemania (a Spanish bingo site).
